Dating is an integral part of finding someone to marry. But searching for the right person to spend your life with can also take a toll on the pocketbook.
Even if you’re already married, continuing to date your spouse has many advantages, although, at the same time, your budget may be even tighter than before. Consistently dating your spouse is statistically linked to a happier and sturdier marriage, according to a study from the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia and the Wheatley Institute. Researchers found that there were many benefits as a result of continued dating after tying the knot, including better communication, commitment, de-stressing, and shared novel experiences.
